NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Metro police are investigating a deadly stabbing that happened Wednesday night in East Nashville, just one block from another violent incident that left a teenager injured earlier that same day.
Officers responded to a call just after 7:40 p.m. at 400 Fatherland Street. Authorities confirm at least one person was killed in the stabbing. Few details about what led up to the attack have been released.
This latest violence unfolded steps away from a separate shooting scene on S 5th Street, where a teenager was shot in a parking lot early Wednesday morning. In that case, police say a car pulled up, and a passenger got out and fired multiple shots. The teen victim is expected to survive.
Metro Nashville Police are investigating both scenes.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
